The Chinese Government quarantined Wuhan on 23 January 2020 and thereafter the Hubei province, affecting a total of 59 million citizens, to cease the spread of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19). The effects of this lockdown on the psychological and mental health of both the affected and unaffected Chinese are largely unknown currently. We utilized one of the largest crowdsourced databases (Sleep as Android) that consisted of 15,681 sleep records from 563 users in China to estimate the change in the sleep pattern of Chinese users during the span of 30 December 2019 to 8 March 2020 with reference to 64,378 sleep records of 1,628 users for the same calendar period of years 2011-2019. The sleep pattern in China changed drastically after 23 January 2020 when the law of quarantine and suspension of Wuhan became effective. The two major findings are: (1) Chinese people increased their sleep duration by an average of 20 min and delayed their sleep onset by an average of 30 min at weekdays, while they maintained a similar sleep duration at weekends, and (2) larger changes were found in several subgroups, including those in Wuhan (80 sleep records from 3 users), female subjects, and those aged ≤ 24 years. Overall, Chinese people slept later and longer than usual during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine.
中国政府于 2020 年 1 月 23 日对武汉实施了隔离措施，随后对湖北省进行了隔离，总计影响了 5900 万居民，以阻止 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的传播。目前，这种封锁对受影响和未受影响的中国人的心理和精神健康的影响在很大程度上尚不清楚。我们利用了最大的众包数据库之一（Sleep as Android），该数据库包含来自中国的 563 位用户的 15681 份睡眠记录，以估计 2019 年 12 月 30 日至 2020 年 3 月 8 日期间中国用户睡眠模式的变化，参考了 2011 年至 2019 年同期日历期间的 1628 位用户的 64378 份睡眠记录。2020 年 1 月 23 日，武汉的隔离和停学法律生效后，中国的睡眠模式发生了巨大变化。两个主要发现是：（1）中国人在工作日平均增加了 20 分钟的睡眠时间，并平均推迟了 30 分钟的入睡时间，而周末的睡眠时间保持相似；（2）在几个亚组中发现了更大的变化，包括武汉（来自 3 位用户的 80 份睡眠记录）、女性受试者和年龄≤24 岁的人。总体而言，在 COVID-19 大流行隔离期间，中国人的睡眠时间比平时晚且长。
